Frontier Developments has released the Elite: Dangerous Alpha 3.0 for all
backers and purchasers of Elite: Dangerous, the latest prerelease installment in
the upcoming space combat remake. As demonstrated in a
new tutorial video,
this adds docking to the game. Here's word: "After successfully proving out the
moment to moment combat gameplay, and multiplayer technology in Alpha phases one
and two respectively, phase three starts to move towards building out the game
by adding docking, an early version of hyperspace jumps between multiple
locations and ship outfitting within an iconic Coriolis space station. Once
successfully docked in the station – a notoriously difficult skill to master in
the original Elite – Elite: Dangerous Alpha phase three offers progression where
players can use their honest profit or ill-gotten gains from their in-game
actions to improve their ship."

This is the first non-combat clip I've seen from Elite. I hope there's more, longer ones that also don't focus on combat - if there are any more, let me know. It looks very nice but if there's no shortcut it will get boring eventually. These sequences always do.

I've no idea which will be better, Elite or Star Citizen. I'm just sitting back saving my money and hoping they both rock.
